Born in Oleiros, A Coruña, Galicia, Pampín joined RC Celta de Vigo's youth sides in 2014, after representing Victoria CF and Ural CF.[2] He made his senior debut with the reserves at the age of just 17 on 20 August 2017, starting in a 2–1 Segunda División B home win over Pontevedra CF.

Pampín scored his first senior goal on 27 October 2018, netting the opener for the B's in a 1–1 away draw against Unionistas de Salamanca CF.[3] A regular starter for the B-team in the following seasons, he left on 1 July after his contract expired.[4]

On 8 July 2022, free agent Pampín signed a two-year deal with Segunda División newcomers FC Andorra.[5] He made his professional debut on 29 August, coming on as a second-half substitute for Martí Vilà in a 2–0 away loss against UD Las Palmas.[6]

Pampín scored his first professional goal on 10 September 2023, netting his team's third in a 4–3 away loss to CD Mirandés. The following 22 July, after the Tricolors' relegation, he moved to fellow second division side Levante UD on a one-year contract.[7]
